Saved To Be A Substitute Engagement Ring
Lillian's POV. "What?" Alexander gasped, grabbing the note from me. "That's not what he told me."He glanced over the note and shook his head."He lied to me.""Are you sure he wasn't the sender?" I asked, fear gripping me."I don't know...I fucking let him inside," Alexander sneered, his voice thick with regret."That doesn't mean anything. Did you catch him looking around, or did he get close to any of your properties?" I asked."No, he didn't," Alexander sighed. "I guess I have been tricked. He might have just given the wrong description to confuse me.""Did you just let him go?" I asked, my heart racing."No, I had him followed. I also have some of his details including his picture, to trace him wherever he runs to," Alexander replied, exhaling sharply."Then I guess we've got nothing to worry about," I said, letting out a sigh.I might have read the most awful words ever, but I wasnt going to let it to ruin our plans. We had given enough time to our problems, it was time to enjo

Lillian's POV."I love you," I whispered against his lips before kissing him deeper.I had forgotten for a second that people were around until the attendant cleared her throat. I broke the kiss and turned to her with an apologetic smile."I'm sorry," I apologized."It's nothing. I'm happy for both of you," she replied with a genuine smile. "So, will you be taking the ring or do you still want to check for more?""No, I love this one," I said, smiling broadly. "It's exactly what I want. It's simple, elegant, and exquisite at the same time. It's my style and what I would be comfortable wearing.""I'm glad that you like it. I also see that it fits, so I guess we are settled," she muttered, extending her hand."Yes, thanks," I sighed, removing the ring and handing it over.She kept it back in the box and packaged it."We also want to purchase wedding rings," Alexander said with a wide smile."That's wonderful," the attendant laughed softly. "Let me keep this aside and show you a few mor

Lillian's POV."Will Dustin like this color?" I asked myself, raising the red-colored sweater I was knitting."He might like it," A faint smile spread on my lips as I lowered my hands to continue knitting. Knitting had been the most effective way to kill boredom after my accident. The accident that happened three years ago, confined me to a wheelchair and made most of the exciting things in my life a distant memory. My immobility had caused me to be locked away in this huge mansion. Sickened by my loneliness, I sought hobbies to occupy myself, and knitting was my best option."I might add a blue color to the sweater," I muttered.As I continued knitting, I heard the door swing open. Lifting my head, I spotted my husband, Dustin Stone, stepping in.Dustin was a successful billionaire tycoon. In my eyes, he was the most handsome man alive. His dark eyes and deep pink lips were something to die for."Pumpkin, look what I'm making for you," I said, raising the half-made sweater. "What c

Lillian’s POVDarting my gaze at my tossed wheelchair, frustration surged through me. Crawling over to it would be an incredible struggle. Feeling defeated, I lowered my face to the floor, tears spilling onto it. As more tears rolled on the spot she slapped, my skin burned in irritation. I had always had delicate skin, and tears weren't good for me. But strangely, that wasn't the only spot I felt pain. When I was pushed to the floor by my husband's devilish mistress, one of the knitting pins pierced me. I felt the prick of the needle. I had never felt anything in my legs since the accident. I didn't understand why this happened now, but there was a flicker of hope in my heart. I might walk again. Maybe I was being delusional but I wanted to hold onto the last hope that I could walk again. Maybe, Dustin would love me again. "Lilian!" I lifted my head, and my gaze met with his cold, dark eyes. Those were the eyes I once adored, but they were just hollow orbs to me. "Dustin, why

My breath grew shallow, gasps desperately leaving my lips. It felt like I couldn't breathe. My lungs seemed to reject the very air they had taken in. "You are such a devil!" I screamed, each word going against the little air I had left. "My kidney will never be yours. She will die like the pathetic bitch that she is, and you'll finally know how it feels to lose someone...that you love,"His eyes darkened at my words, but there was no real shock. There was just a deeper malice that sent chills down my spine. "You're a fool, if you think that will happen," He spat, his voice no longer firm, but chillingly void of emotions."Yes I do!" I asserted, my shaky hands slowly reaching up to wipe the tears I didn't realize had fallen already. "You're going to regret everything you've done to me and my father...You could have just found another donor, but you chose someone gullible, someone you could control." "Cut the fucking crap," Dustin sneered, his lips curving into a twisted smile. "I w
Last Updated : 2024-10-10Saved To Be A Substitute Lost Love
Alexander’s POVMy car drove through the large York river and I chuckled darkly as my eyes were fixed on the picture in my wallet. I had held onto that picture for the past two years. The woman in the picture was the most beautiful I had ever seen, no one could compete with her radiance.She was a natural beauty, with her long brunette hair, hazel eyes, and plump pink lips. Her curvy figure was so stunning that nearly all the men she encountered wanted her. Yet, she chose me, Alexander McQueen. That was her biggest mistake. She shouldn't have been with someone like me. Every woman sought me but she was different. She loved me differently and didn't even care if I was one of the richest men in the world. I might have been the best man in her life, as she often described me, but if it weren't for my presence, she would still be here. My hand clenched around my wallet as I recalled how she had been kidnapped by an evil rival, never to be found again. I had tried desperately to save
Last Updated : 2024-10-10Saved To Be A Substitute Finally Free?
Lillian's POV. My eyes widened as his lips pressed against mine. My mind froze for a second before I wondered why he was kissing me. I thought that he wanted to save me. Did he stop Dustin just so he could take advantage of my situation? Why was everyone trying to exploit my vulnerability? Instinctively, I put my bound hands forward, “Get off me!” I screamed and tried to push him away. His warm hands, however, held my face more firmly, though without hurting me. He continued kissing me, ignoring my feeble attempts at protest. “You bastard!” I cussed. It seemed like all men were nothing but scumbags. A surge of anger filled my veins, and I was about to push him again when I noticed his eyes were closed and tears were visible on his cheeks. Why was he crying? Everything felt so confusing. It wasn't my business what he was doing, though. I just needed to stop him. With renewed strength, I succeeded in pushing him away. His body banged on the edge of the car seat. "Stop it!" I sn
Last Updated : 2024-10-15Saved To Be A Substitute My Woman
Lillian's POVMy body froze, and for a moment, it felt like my heart stopped beating. I hastily looked up at the unknown man's face, his expression was cold as steel and unreadable. Was he shot?"If you take another step, this bullet will go straight into your fucking skull," I heard Dustin's low menacing voice. "I know who you are...Alexander McQueen. That's the only reason you're alive. But don't mistake my mercy for another chance at stupidity. Give her back to me and disappear."My breath caught in my throat. Alexander McQueen? That name rang a bell but I couldn't quite remember who he was. However, I didn't want Alexander to die because of me. But I didn't want to return to Dustin either. "I don't want him to hurt you," I muttered, placing my hand on his chest without thinking. The warmth of his body seemed to contrast with his cold demeanor. His gaze softened as he looked down at me, "Don't worry, love. I'm gonna keep us safe. I will never let him hurt you again. Just trust m

Lillian's POV"What gift?" I asked, feeling a sudden wave of curiosity.Alexander looked up at me and gasped as if he hadn't meant for me to hear what he said."What is it?" I pressed, searching his face. "You look pale again," I added, reaching for him."Nothing," Alexander stuttered, shaking his head. "It's just a—""Alex, don't hide anything from me," I said, my tone pleading. "We've been having so many issues in our relationship because we've hidden things from each other. Let's not do that again, please..."I watched him swallow a lump in his throat, and lower his gaze."I didn't mean to hide anything from you," He said with a sigh. "It's just that I didn't want to bother you.""You aren't bothering me," I said with a soft smile. I held his face gently and whispered, "You're my husband, and you can share your troubles with me. I'll do the same too."His expression softened at my words."I received an envelope earlier," Alexander revealed."Envelope? You mean the one that was slip
Saved To Be A Substitute Keep A Secret
Alexander's POV. "What did you just say?" I gasped, lifting my head. "A secret ad...admirer?"My mind instantly went to Dustin. I couldn't believe that the bastard refused to relent despite my warning to him, yesterday."Is it Dustin Stone?" I asked the delivery man."Sir, I'm not supposed to reveal the identity of the sender," he replied firmly. "Please sign, so I can leave.""Is the sender Dustin?" I repeated, unrelenting."I don't want to get fired—""How much do you want?" I asked, enticing him. "I'll give you enough to quit this job and live a better life."The delivery man swallowed hard, lowering his gaze for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about my offer."Okay," He agreed with a nod. "Come in," I said, letting him inside. I closed the door behind me and dropped the box on the floor. "Do you know what is inside?" I asked, squinting at the box. "It's a vase," he replied, glancing down at it. "He attached a message to it, stating how beautiful she was and she could put
Saved To Be A Substitute Gift Box
Alexander's POV."What is it?" Lillian asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Is it an invitation or something?"I swallowed the lump in my throat and let out a sharp sigh."It's not an invitation," I replied, trying to mask my nervousness. "It's just Martin telling me my partners were upset that I left the party abruptly and didn't return.""Since we weren't opening the door, he decided to write it out," I added, lying smoothly."I guess that must be my fault...I mean, you not returning to the party," Lillian muttered, her tone laced with guilt. "I'm sorry...""Don't apologize, Freckles," I said softly. "You did nothing wrong."I walked over to where our clothes were scattered and grabbed my pants, slipping the envelope and letter into the pocket discreetly, hoping she wouldn't notice."Are you sure it's just about your partners being upset?" Lillian asked, her voice tinged with concern."Yes." I nodded. "It's just that I have to pacify them, which requires some work. But it's noth
Saved To Be A Substitute Strange Message
Alexander's POV."Who could that be?" I frowned, glancing toward the door. "Don't answer it," she whispered, cupping my face and pulling me into a deep kiss. I kissed her back, my hands roaming her body. From her hips to her thighs and then to her curves, I took my time savoring her. My hands slid to her ass, and I teasingly trailed two of my fingers between her cheeks. She trembled beneath me, soft moans spilling from her lips. The knock on the door persisted, but I had no intention of answering it, not without giving her more pleasure first. Slowly, I slid my fingers into her warm cunt, causing her hips to grind against me.She broke the kiss, soft cries escaping her lips at the intrusion. Not wanting whoever was outside to hear her, I silenced her with another kiss, this time deeper and more possessive. My fingers moved inside her, matching the rhythm of her grinding hips. The slick heat around them made me throb with need, and my cock slowly thrust into her, teasing us both.
Saved To Be A Substitute Imperfect Couple
Alexander's POV.I knew at that moment, I had broken through her resolve. Her hands reached for my face, and she kissed me back with the same intensity. I began to wonder if I was taking the right path instead of just having a conversation.I didn't want to act like Dustin who would take advantage of her with every chance he got.I broke the kiss and held her hands on my face."Nothing is going on between Eva and me," I muttered, seizing the opportunity. "Dustin drugged her at the party, so she could help him with his company. I just couldn't leave her in that state."Her expression remained unreadable after my explanation, so I continued."I took to my Mom's house because she was unwilling to pick her up. I'm sorry if it seemed like we were having any interaction," I said with an apologetic tone. "Eva wasn't in her right state of mind.""Also, I forgot about the party, that's why I didn't tell you. Martin reminded me, but I thought you wanted some space, so I didn't call you," I expl
Saved To Be A Substitute Lillian, Please Listen…
Alexander's POV"Why would you do that?" I asked, feeling a surge of worry and frustration."I'm sorry sir," Martin apologized, his tone dripping with guilt. "She was worried about you. She said you weren't answering her calls." I grunted in frustration, "I put my phone on 'do not disturb' for a few hours. I think she called during that time. Damn it!""My apologies again sir. She was persistent and I felt guilty to see her so worried," Martin explained.My heart hammered in my chest, feeling a pang of guilt. I shouldn't have shut her out like that. Maybe she had just wanted to talk or help me calm down. Now, it seemed like I'd ignored her."But...I didn't see her at the party," I said, trailing off as a horrifying realization struck me."Oh no!" Panic surged as I abruptly pulled over at the side of the road."What is it, sir?" Martin asked, nervously. "Did something happen to Mrs Jessica...I mean Lillian.""I think...she saw us," I muttered through my gritted teeth."Saw you and who
Saved To Be A Substitute You Did What?
Alexander's POVI was shocked to see him here. How did he get in? I never added his name to the list.My gaze remained fixed on both of them, but neither noticed me."Should I interfere or just walk away?" I muttered to myself, contemplating.I didn't feel like intervening in anything that involved Eva. I was already enjoying my evening since she left me alone. But, it wouldn't be fair to leave her with this bastard.I knew Dustin was never up to any good, and the way he was dragging her looked so forceful."Dustin!" I yelled, and he stopped for a moment.He looked at me, narrowing his eyes."Why are you always getting in my way?" He sneered. "Just move along. This isn't any of your business.""How is this not my business?" I snapped, walking hastily toward them. "Let her go now!"Before I could reach them, he released her and she almost fell to the floor. I caught her just in time, but that's when I realized she was drunk."Alexander," She whispered, reaching for my face. "My love, y
